It’s been a rather crappy day till now. Given that it’s 17:00 as I write this, I’m not holding up much hope for the rest of the day.

A dev finds me on skype, asking me to check for performance on one of the DB servers.

It takes me five minutes to log in and another couple of minutes to start the Task Manager. Eventually I managed establish that the SQLserver is taking up a hug chunk of RAM and most of the CPU time.

When I tell this to the Dev, he’s like ‘Yes cause it’s performing a restore..’

Thy micturations are to meAs plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.

Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes,

And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles,

Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts

With my blurglecruncheon, see if I don’t!

In case you didn’t know, that’s a phone that came out in 2013. It’s 2 years old. And Sony just updated it to the latest stable version of Android – Lollipop 5.1.1. That, my friends, is fantastic and raises Sony’s perceived reputation by a factor of awesome.

I will certainly consider another Xperia when the time comes, based on this fact alone.

LG recently showed off a new TV that’s capable of displaying picture on both sides.

I have three screens on my desk including my laptop, with multiple applications open on all of them. And yet by the end of the day, I end up wondering at the little I seemingly managed to achieve.

Truly multitasking is a myth. Maybe I should just go back to just one screen? But then again, how would I manage with only one?
